id a trial a couple months in advance and had such a great time with Jacqueline during the trial. I decided to change up my wedding make up right before the wedding and Jacqueline did an amazing job changing it up on the wedding day. She is highly skilled and knows a lot of great vendors in the wedding space. She recommended the hairstylists that I went with as well. I felt so beautiful and was so impressed at how well the make up lasted. It survived the misty rain during photos, the ceremony, reception, and the after party! Also, I am not the most comfortable in fake eyelashes and Jacqueline spent time making own eyelashes stand out. Jacqueline feels like another friend in the room on your wedding morning! I highly recommend her to do your wedding make up and trust her vendor recommendations. My bridesmaids loved their experience as well and looked amazing!

As the bride, I took the risk of not scheduling a makeup trial because Jacqueline had come highly recommended and I trusted she would execute my makeup perfectly! She took the time to understand mine and my bridal parties visions and effortlessly brought them to life, making everyone feel beautiful and confident. Every detail was perfect and the makeup lasted all day, even through tears of joy! Jacqueline truly knows her craft and made everyone feel like they were the most beautiful in the room!

Same with my bridesmaids when they mentioned they also ugly cried at some point during the night - no running makeup! The makeup lasted all night & photographed beautifully. It didn't even feel like I had makeup on at all & that's a big thing for me. Thank you so much for making us look beautiful on my special day!

eryone needs Jacqui on their wedding day!!!
I know Jacqui from high school and we have so many mutual friends that i've been admiring her work for years constantly saying "when i get married i NEED Jacqui to do my makeup" so I did just that when i picked a venue I ran some dates by her to make sure she was available on my wedding day because I couldn't imagine my day without her. And i am so glad I was right. She exceeded all my expectations. My makeup stayed the ENTIRE night. I don't think there are enough words to describe how happy I was throughout my whole process with her. She is kind, professional, beyond talented, personable, knowledgable, and a true makeup angel.
Jacqui is truly worth every penny. And i will continue recommending her and booking her for all my future events.

Jackie is amazing! I was in love at my trial. She made everything so easy and flawless. I could not have been happier!
I met Jackie when I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding. As I walked down the aisle, a friend overheard my (now) husband say out loud to himself “oh my god she’s so beautiful”....
I knew once it came my time to walk down the aisle as a bride, I HAD to have her, and once again she did not disappoint. Not only is she an absolute sweetheart and so patient and calm amidst all of the wedding day chaos and anxiety, but she made myself, my mother, and all of my bridesmaids feel and look the most beautiful! If you are considering hiring her, DO IT!!!! Every bride needs a Jacqueline Adevai!!

Not only did I feel beautiful and confident, but my whole bridal party looked amazing!!! I am so thankful I found her and highly recommend!

She is very talented, and also was a pleasure to work with as i had a million questions leading up to it and this was all very last minute due to postponement re: COVID. She was truly amazing to work with, showed up on time and for an early 530 AM start, and kept on schedule which is crucial the day of. She was easy to work with. She also offered airbrush which helped everyone's make up stay on all day , and it was a muggy, warm and long day. HIGHLY recommend.
